Uniform management

Agree, decide consistently and implement

Uniform management of Swiss Post Ltd is required by law. The key issues facing Swiss Post Group must therefore be agreed, decided consistently and put into practice.

For holding structures, regulated cooperation across all units is of central importance. To ensure that the members of the Boards of Directors can carry out their responsibilities properly, four representatives of Swiss Post, including the CEO herself, sit on the PostFinance Board of Directors. The Chief Executive Officer of PostFinance in turn participates in the meetings of Swiss Post's Executive Management.

The Board of Directors of Swiss Post Ltd is responsible for the strategic management and oversight of the Group. Swiss Post's operations are run by Executive Management. The responsibilities associated with the universal service must be shared and met uniformly across the Group. In addition, the quality requirements of the supervisory authorities, the fulfilment of the Federal Council's strategic goals, and compliance with the Group's accounting principles are important to the entire Group. With the exception of PostFinance Ltd, the subsidiaries are managed on a fiduciary basis, i.e. the official bodies act only as required in accordance with the Swiss Code of Obligations.

In addition to the organizational framework, a consistent management culture is also required: all employees with management roles base their decisions on three leadership principles.
